A hand holds three makeup pencils in a store aisle, with text overlay "Buy or bye Walmart Edition" and decorative flames, butterflies, and rainbow hearts.
A hand holds a white and yellow box for a sunscreen and makeup primer, rated as a 'BUY' for being unnoticeable, working well under makeup, giving a glow, and evening out skin.
A hand holds a light blue box for an eye cream, rated as a 'BYE' because it does nothing and a cheaper alternative is suggested as better.
BUY OR BYE DRUGSTORE MAKEUP EDITION
These are just my opinions. I have tried so many different drug store products and the buy ones are my daily users. I also rely on them for an accurate product review! For reference I am a very oily girl in the T zone and dry everywhere else. I cannot stand when my makeup separates so these are my
